Forza Motorsport’s car progression system is being overhauled today as part of the game’s sixth major update.

In January, Turn 10 Studios acknowledged complaints from Forza Motorsport players about three areas of the game, including its “divisive” car progression mechanic.

Following the release of Update 6 at 10am PT / 5pm GMT today, all car parts for every car will be unlocked at Car Level 1, meaning Xbox Series X/S and PC players can install upgrades in any order.

Secondly, Car Points will be obtainable with in-game Credits, at a ratio of 4,500 Credits for 500 Car Points.

The on-track time required to reach Car Level 50 will remain between 2-3 hours and brand discount levels won’t be changing as part of the update.

The update will also include Career tour the Combustion Tour, four additional Spotlight cars, four new Car Pass cars, and a fresh schedule of Multiplayer and Rivals events.

Full details on today’s update can be found here, while a new overview trailer is viewable above.

The Nürburgring Nordschleife track was added to Forza Motorsport last month as part of the game’s fifth major update.
